Yeah so I broke up with my chap just shy of our 5 year anniversary. To be honest it hasn't been working for a while now, it's been on and off for years really, though this time is for certain and though it's hard it feels like the right thing. *shrug*

But the purpose of this blog (aside from the expert relationship advice GS offers!) as it says in the title is the fact that the PS3 was a joint purchase and - since I am not cruel at heart - it is fair that he gets it since a) he was the main reason for me buying it in the first place and b) his monetary input was significant. And I can use the flat deposit he's returning to buy a new one anyways!

And here is the key question - do I get a slim or an original! Gah!

I've been perusing the thread of people pondering this same question with amusment in the PS3 board but now I find myself in the same horrible situatuion, and I have no idea what to choose. The slim seems like the obvious choice and for good reason eg: better memory/design/won't be a dust magnet/is small. But I love the look of the big phat one, and I liked the fact that I had chosen it previously despite its flaws and being more expensive rather than turning to the cheaper Xbox, since I am a PS girl at heart (well I'm a Megadrive girl at heart but y'know).

I am torn - but I want to get a replacement soon so I can heal myself by cookin foo's on KillzOne.

What would you choose?

Sorry to hear about the break up. I prefer the look of the original to the slim but I'd just go for which ever is cheaper.

Sorry to hear about the breakup, things like that are never easy.

Get a slim. Bigger standard HDD, quieter, uses less power... more than makes up for how it looks IMO.

Ouch. Sorry about the split.

I would get an end-of-line phat, retailers will be shipping those with free games'n'5hiz soon (if they're not already) so you might get a bit more for your money during the slim rollout?

If not, just get the cheapest model...

Now on to more important matters... who gets custody of Killzone 2 and Batman

Sorry to hear about the break-up. It's good there was no messy custody battle though!

Like the other cheapskates commenting on your blog, I would go with whatever is cheaper although the slim seems like the better version.

PS3 phat + 3 games = £260? Bargain.

Thanks guys for your advice and commiserations. I think I am going to go for a phat and games deal. That Blockbuster offer is a sweet one but I am miles away from any of their stores =(
